In oceanography, modeling wave fields requires the use of statistical tools capable of handling the circular nature of the {data measurements}. An important issue in ocean wave analysis is the study of height and direction waves, being…
Directional data consists of unit vectors in q-dimensions that can be described in polar or Cartesian coordinates. Axial data can be viewed as a pair of directions pointed in opposite directions or as a projection matrix of rank 1.…
We study trend filtering, a relatively recent method for univariate nonparametric regression. For a given positive integer $r$, the $r$-th order trend filtering estimator is defined as the minimizer of the sum of squared errors when we…
In many temporal datasets, the parameters of the underlying distribution may change abruptly at unknown times. Detecting such changepoints is crucial for numerous applications. Although such a problem has been extensively studied for linear…
The focus of this paper is on trend estimation for a general state-space model $Y_t=\mu_t+\varepsilon_t$, where the $d$th difference of the trend $\{\mu_t\}$ is assumed to be i.i.d., and the error sequence $\{\varepsilon_t\}$ is assumed to…
For time series data observed at non-random and possibly non-equidistant time points, we estimate the trend function nonparametrically. Under the assumption of a bounded total variation of the function and low-order moment conditions on the…
In the context of nonparametric regression, we study conditions under which the consistency (and rates of convergence) of estimators built from discretely sampled curves can be derived from the consistency of estimators based on the…
Let X be a second order random process indexed by a compact interval [0,T]. Assume that n independent realizations of X are observed on a fixed grid of p time points. Under mild regularity assumptions on the sample paths of X, we show the…
We consider settings where data are available on a nonparametric function and various partial derivatives. Such circumstances arise in practice, for example in the joint estimation of cost and input functions in economics. We show that when…
We consider nonparametric estimation of a regression curve when the data are observed with multiplicative distortion which depends on an observed confounding variable. We suggest several estimators, ranging from a relatively simple one that…
The analysis of continuously spatially varying processes usually considers two sources of variation, namely, the large-scale variation collected by the trend of the process, and the small-scale variation. Parametric trend models on latitude…
We discuss nonparametric estimation of the trend coefficient in models governed by a stochastic differential equation driven by a multiplicative stochastic volatility.
Spherical regression explores relationships between variables on spherical domains. We develop a nonparametric model that uses a diffeomorphic map from a sphere to itself. The restriction of this mapping to diffeomorphisms is natural in…
This paper deals with the consistency, a rate of convergence and the asymptotic distribution of a nonparametric estimator of the trend in the Skorokhod reflection problem defined by a fractional SDE and a Moreau sweeping process.
A nonparametric regression setting is considered with a real-valued covariate and responses from a metric space. One may approach this setting via Fr\'echet regression, where the value of the regression function at each point is estimated…
We develop new econometric methods for the comparison of nonparametric time trends. In many applications, practitioners are interested in whether the observed time series all have the same time trend. Moreover, they would often like to know…
We study quantile trend filtering, a recently proposed method for nonparametric quantile regression with the goal of generalizing existing risk bounds known for the usual trend filtering estimators which perform mean regression. We study…

We propose a novel approach for density estimation called histogram trend filtering. Our estimator arises from looking at surrogate Poisson model for counts of observations in a partition of the support of the data. We begin by showing…
